Boosting the efficiency of #SolarPanels beyond the #technological limitations of #silicon is another Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation solution that may be achieved by using #Perovskites.

"#Perovskites are yet another example of old #technology that's just starting to gain some traction in the world of #renewables...it was discovered...in 1839 and is a family of materials with the same #crystal structure as #CalciumTitaniumOxide (#CaTiO3)."

Perovskites are materials that can convert sunlight into electricity with high efficiency and low cost. They have been hailed as the next generation of solar cells, but they also have a dark side: they degrade quickly under heat and humidity. This means they may not last long enough to be commercially viable unless scientists can improve their stability and durability.

Chemists have developed an ultrathin material that can convert sunlight into electricity with high efficiency and stability. The material is made of two layers of metal-halide perovskites, a type of semiconductor that has attracted attention for its potential in solar cells. The material could produce cheaper, thinner, and more flexible solar panels for various applications.

✍️🏽New Preprint: How do complex hybrid #perovskites lattices react to intense single-cycle THz field spikes⚡️? The #THz Kerr effect unveils that we nonlinearly drive octahedral twist modes, relevant for controlling phase fluctuation and dynamic disorder.

@jks "we have all the technology we need we dont need to develop anything new" is an extremely limited mindset.

Yes, maybe using #PERC #solar modules in large scales we could solve some energy issues, but thats no reason NOT to research #Perovskites which could allow us to do even more, faster and more sustainably.

You can play many chemical games with #perovskites. Removing inversion symmetry is one where the rules are still being written #JACS #Chemiverse #Chemistry https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jacs.2c12034

I realised I forgot to do an #introduction, and it may still be useful!

I have a #science background, having studied #physics and #materialscience, particularly in #perovskites.

I currently work in #software and spend my evenings and free time making #youtube #videos and other #communication related to #climatechange, #environmentalism, and #sustainability, and have recently become more interested in the #geopolitics and #policy.

I also enjoy #guitar, #kayaking, and training in the #gym.

I know Youtube has been responsible for the radicalization of many people but for me it really has been pretty great.

Why did I flip over the John Hancock tower for my presentation? Come and see for yourself at 1:30 in ballroom A at Hynes #F22MRS (EN04.07.01, it's on AFM on #perovskites).
